Fred, you have to hit the small, local mom and pop banks.

1,000 hits per day?

Dan hit the nail on the head.

I think Dan Hit it.

ING is good and then when you hit $5000, put it in a CD and keep going like that timing the CDs until you've accumulated enough to pay the loan off.

(sustainable resource)- Use energy efficient light bulbs or dimmer switches (I heard E/S bulbs have mercury in them so I stay away from that)- Install a day/night programmable thermostat- Replace windows with double-pane LOW-E.- Install added insulation (attic, basement ceilings, ect)- Install Energy Star appliances- Convert oil furnaces to gas if possible.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)

The Cleveland area was hit hard with this foreclosure fiasco, so it will probably be difficult to find many cash flowing areas.
